Fire Festival Coming On July 6 - Details
Blizzard also gave us a schedule for the whole Fire Festival event that will go live on July 6 and will be available for 3 weeks.
See down below what you can expect each week:
Quote from BlizzardThe Fire Festival is back! This year, Ragnaros is throwing a house party in the Firelands. Everybody’s invited! The Fire Festival will last for three weeks, from July 6 at 10:00 AM PT to July 27 at 10:00 AM PT. Here are some of the activities you’ll be able to enjoy during that time, and some other fun stuff that’s on the horizon:
Legendary Quests
There will be 7 Legendary Fire Festival quests in addition to your normal daily quests. Complete one Legendary quest to unlock the next one! The first six quests will each reward you with a Year of the Phoenix pack, and the last quest will grant you a Druid of the Flame Malfurion Hero skin! These quests will only be granted until 10:00 AM PT on July 27, so don’t show up too late!
The Fire Festival Returns to its Roots!
July 7 – Ragnaros’ Fire Festival Tavern Brawl
Ragnaros has thought it over and decided that there’s nothing more Fire Festival than the Ragnaros’ Fire Festival tavern brawl. Construct a deck to face your opponent while Mini-Rag wreaks havoc on both players! You know, classic house party behavior. Feed Mini-Rag to charge up your emotes with festive fireworks!
July 14 – (Updated) Burndown Brawl
We’ve also updated the Burndown Brawl for a new take on another classic! This time, it’s The Duelist Burndown, and every deck borrows Treasures and a special Hero Power from Duels! Take control of a random deck and the loser of each game will be given their opponent’s deck for the next one. In the end, one deck will emerge as the most dominant of all!
More Fiery Looks with the Eternal Flame Bundle
Malfurion’s not the only one who has picked up a new look in the Firelands! The Eternal Flame Bundle offers the hot new Flamewalker Rexxar and Righteous Inferno Uther hero skins, as well as the Ragnaros card back and alternate Shaman hero! How handsome! The Eternal Flame Bundle will be available from July 6 to July 20, and is limited to one per account.
The Afterparty!
July 27 – The Party Continues with Battlegrounds Cosmetics!
Right after the Fire Festival ends, we’re moving the party over to Battlegrounds! The first-ever Battlegrounds cosmetics go live on July 27 with the Battlegrounds Bundle: Beach Party! The Beach Party includes beach party themed skins for seven different Battlegrounds heroes, as well as the Tikilord Ragnaros alternate Bartender. Tikilord Ragnaros includes a new portrait AND NEW VOICELINES FOR YOUR BATTLEGROUNDS BARTENDER! AMAZING!
Don’t let the party die! Or do. You can also pick up Battleground Heroes: Shadowlands for eight more Battlegrounds hero skins, based on Warcraft’s afterlife. Grab either set, or both, and personalize your Battlegrounds experience to whatever strikes your fancy.
Stay tuned for more Battlegrounds cosmetics, including more alternate Bartenders and more Hero skins, throughout the year!
Next Major Battlegrounds Update
Finally, looks aren’t the only thing being updated in Battlegrounds! In an upcoming content patch, Battlegrounds will get all-new heroes and undergo a major rework of all minion Types. We will be swapping out over 30 existing minions for new ones specifically designed to play off the core fantasy of that Type and re-emphasize how the Types play, giving the entire mode a massive refresh! For instance, Pirates will have a bigger emphasis on amassing Gold and treasure, with new cards like Briny Bootlegger and Nosy Looter.
Keep an eye out for more about the changes that will be coming to Battlegrounds as we get closer to the launch.

Yep, it seems like there has been a last minute change ...
The Ragnaros shaman hero was supposed to be the reward for the legendary quest-chain (for free), while the Eternal Flame bundle contained "flamish" skins for 3 classic heroes and a cardback.
I wonder if Blizzard changed their mind knowing that giving away an alternate hero of the importance of Ragnaros for free would make them not earn a large amount of money, since no one would pay a buck for another 3 pathetic skins of the basic heroes of always.
Anyway, they have clear priorities, always thinking about how to squeeze their customers to get as much money as possible...
If the thought of Blizzard making money offends you, just don't buy any cosmetic items at all.
If the prices are too high, don't buy them.
If you don't like a thing you are being given for free, maybe be a little gracious and don't complain about it.
different take: All of them were supposed to be in the bundle (which makes sense from a visual standpoint) and they decided to give one of them away for free as a tease.
Completely agree.
So many people litter these forums whose essential argument is that, Blizzard (a commercial entity) are awful for wanting to charge for products (that they're not forcing anyone to buy) in the game that they are able to play for free.
the Fire Festival questline proves this in my opinion.
we need to play 3 games as Paladin, Hunter and Druid.
but for Shaman, we need 10 games instead. (Ragnaros is the Shaman hero)
the "play 10 games as X" quest seems like a final quest to me, rather than Druid one, which is just 3. I think they just changed the order of quests but didnt had time to change the quantity for each.
I think we were supposed to get Rag as free while "play 10 Games as Shaman" (Embrace the Firelord) quest was supposed to be the final quest of the fire festival.
Yeah I need that Shaman skin. Looks so good.
Friendship ended with Thunder King
Now Ragnaros is my best friend
NEW BARTENDERS??
Praise yogg.
Edit: Rogue still has the fewest skins in the game.
Why?
Even Bartender now has more skins than rogue.
Dayum, that Uther Skin might be too tempting to pass, price for all these skins might be a greedy 20 $ though.
The best skin in years and they are giving it for free, great job
I think you are not able to read.

It is not free.
the malfurion one is so chill with the attitude era stone cold
He is talking about Druid of the Flame, which is for free, bro. (One of the best skins indeed, btw)
No need to be extra salty.
Here come the (additional) waifu skins...
RAGNAROS AS A HERO PORTRAIT ?!
